Just to clarify. Sun, 10 May 2020 05:52:18 GMT biv@cstcsafety.com (Ben) https://www.cstcsafety.com/blog/heat-illness-prevention-and-covid-19#comment_590 The previous comment does not state where they find the requirement of a 2 hour recovery period, but here is what is stated in T8CCR 3395(e) "When temperatures reach 95 degrees or above, the employer shall ensure that the employee takes a minimum 10 minute net preventative cool-down rest period every two hours. The preventative cool-down rest period required by this paragraph may be provided concurrently with any other meal or rest period required by Industrial Welfare Commission Order No. 14 if the timing of the preventative cool-down rest period coincides with a required meal or rest period thus resulting in no additional preventative cool-down rest period required in an eight hour workday." This says that every two hours, a minimum of a 10 minute recovery period is required, not two hours.

I was reading my comment wrong apologies. If we had a 2 hour recovery for every 2 hours worked we wouldn’t be working! 10 minutes every 2 hours worked in 95 degrees.
